What Are Sleep Disorders With Pain And Numbness In Calves, Arms And Chest Suggestive Of?

My Daugher lives in Charleston,SC she is 26 yrs old and has been experiencing some health problems. about 3 mos ago she started having trouble staying asleep. maybe averaging 4 hrs a nite. She had a sinus infections that she was taking antibotics for and the seemed to clear up. I thought she was maybe suffering from anxiety and she enlisted a therapist for that. Now about 2 weeks ago she started with pain in her left calf- and weakness. Then into her other leg and then her left arm. She went to ER thinking blood clott. But they said no. After that whe developed pain in her chest by her ribs it hurt to breath. She went to ER and then her Dr. she received prednisone and that help a little but she still has the pain and numbness like her arms and legs feel weak and like their asleep. Her Dr. Ordered a MRI to check for MS. I was reading about Guillian Barr Syndrome...I don t really know what to look for or what to have her ask the Dr About. I also stumbled upon Lyme Disease. But there is no rash. Any suggestions?

Hello There

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that there is so much information available on internet and her symptoms can fit it into many, but you should get an MRI first and let her physician diagnose the problem.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
